Watching the countless footage of the Seahawks sound bytes from regional to national shows, I can't ever recall a team that genuinely has love for one another like our Seahawks do. I don't mean the casual remarks a teammate says but the deep, genuine expressions that I've witnessed our boys say to one another. Whether it's Russell to Pete..."Love you..." after dousing him with Gatorade or Richard Sherman or another member of the defense saying things like, "I love you brother." "I love you too brother..." Or Earl Thomas passionately professing his love for his teammates in a pregame speech..."Everything I do I do for you! I love you guys!"

It's quite rare to witness such remarks on a level you know is pure and genuine. These players genuinely love each other as family and they sacrifice their bodies, and sometimes even stats to share that love for their teammates. It's been an incredible and underplayed aspect of this Championship team of ours, and a component that cannot be underestimated.

One word that truly is epitomized by this group. TEAM!

I agree Aros which is why I am not worried about losing the players we want or signing whatever outside FA's we want.

I Agree 100%

The Ravens were like this on D for a long time, but you always got the impression that they wanted to kick their offense in the balls. Certainly tight as a defensive group, though.

MizzouHawkGal · Feb 10, 2014

Well their offense was pretty awful unlike ours so can you blame them?

Earl told Kam that he loves watching him play, on the SB48 Sound FX.

Was watching a deal on Vernon Davis today and during the anthem he turns to Takeo Spikes and says he loves him, Then he goes, "no man, I mean it, I really love you man". Priceless.

Well he could be gay? Does it really matter given several NFL players were gay. Some of them damn awesome players regardless. (Or did I misunderstand your intent?).

I'm glad you brought this up Todd. I noticed it too, on all the FX sound bytes that we finally got to hear. Really incredible to me the culture and atmosphere that Pete and john, and really, all the players have created here. No wonder players all want to come here.

You read my mind Aros... That's one thing I noticed in the sound fx and other footage of the team. I've never seen or heard a team show this much love for each other. Yes, we follow the Seahawks more but I watch NFLN all the time and never see this on soundfx or any other team footage

AROS · Feb 10, 2014

It even occurs in those little moments they either are not aware the mic is on or they don't seem to care, and it's certainly not for show. Even during random, mundane moments like pre-game stretches. It's truly genuine and that's what got my attention.

LOL beast mode and mike rob. I'm gonna miss Breno's toughness if the seahawks part ways

hoxrox · Feb 10, 2014

Great observation. This team has great chemistry for sure, especially on defense. I hope this is what will keep the Legion together.

From Earl Thomas's post Super Bowl blog part 1...

The morning of the game, I woke up at about 6:30 a.m. I couldn’t sleep. So I got up, did my stretching, prayed, took a shower and got ready for the walkthrough, which was at around 10:30.

After that, I went to Kam Chancellor’s room. We just talked for a while. We talked about the whole season, how we’ve evolved as ballplayers. Everything Kam said, I knew it was coming from a great place, from his heart.

When I left that room, I was calm. I was relaxed. I was ready to play because I knew that guy was with me. I’ve been saying all year: that connection that we have is stronger than anything, especially in this league. It’s the reason we play the way we do.

This is part of the reason that I don't think Sherman is going to depart in FA. I know people argue that he's so driven to be seen as the best that it will have him demanding the sun, moon, and stars in his next contract. But it's clear that he loves his LOB teammates. If we assume that our front office isn't going to try to lowball him and instead will make him a reasonable and appropriate offer, I see him sticking around for that rather than trying to get a "bigger than Revis" deal somewhere else.

I think Pete gets at least 75% of the credit for what you're talking about, maybe more.

Pete really fosters the family atmosphere.

Shane Falco · Feb 11, 2014

I never seen it this strong in a team that I can recall either. I have no doubt it is a huge part of our success - it's that part that puts us on top in the most pivotal and critical of moments between winning and losing.

I can't forget that segment the week before the SB where they asked Manning what is the first thing that comes to mind when watching film on our defense - without hesitation he said, "unity".

Also, watching that SB48 SFX and seeing the comments about the O from the D when they were on the sidelines and vice versa. These guys have some true bonds that only makes them play harder for each other even more than for themselves. It's pretty damn cool.

Keyhawk · Feb 11, 2014

Yes, the sound effects show the love these players have for each other.

Yeah, I do not understand how some think Sherman will be gone.

He clearly, CLEARLY wants to be here. It's no different for most of our FAs.
